| molecular analysis of the complete genome of a simian foamy virus infecting hylobates pileatus (pileated gibbon) reveals ancient co-evolution with lesser apes. | foamy viruses (fvs) are complex retroviruses present in many mammals, including nonhuman primates, where they are called simian foamy viruses (sfvs). sfvs can zoonotically infect humans, but very few complete sfv genomes are available, hampering the design of diagnostic assays. gibbons are lesser apes widespread across southeast asia that can be infected with sfv, but only two partial sfv sequences are currently available. we used a metagenomics approach with next-generation sequencing of nuclei ... | 2019 | 31277268 |
